Toronto Educrats Send Cops After Snarky Blogger
He hurt their feelings
TORONTO—Can writing a sarcastic but clearly tame blog comment really land two cops at your doorstep?
It happened to Blazingcatfur blogger Arnie Lemaire Wednesday for musing "OISE and the TDSB need to be purged, or burnt to the ground whichever is more effective."
He's, quite rightfully, upset about it.
But, often critical of the Toronto District School Board and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Lemaire said he will not back down from efforts to "intimidate" him.
"Dear TDSB, You Can't Silence Me," was a headline on the blazingcatfur.blogspot in response.
